One application we care about is using quantum computers to build high resolution telescopes https://arxiv.org/abs/1107.2939. A wide area network is required because the telescopes need to be far apart.

I believe they're referring to this proposal by Gottesman [0]. I will try to explain in layman's terms what is happening: the simplest telescope array you can imagine is just two telescopes separated by what is called the baseline. The telescopes could either just detect light from a star independently and then autocorrelate these signals afterwards, or they could interfere their signals before detection. The latter is called an interferometric telescope array and has a resolution advantage over the former, simpler, solution. The length of the baseline is an important factor in determining…
